Guess who's celebrating a birthday
today?
That's right; the most amazing woman in
the world turns another year younger today. I don't know how she
does it, but I don't think she looks a day older than she did, say,
last century.
But then she's amazing, so what do you
expect?
This is one of my favorite recent
pictures of her, taken on Herreninsel on Lake Chiemsee in Germany,
one of the homes of her BFF King Ludwig II. There are many things I
love about her, but one of the best is the passion into which she
throws herself when pursuing a new interest. A couple of years ago
we're traipsing through Germany with our parents, we visit a castle
on a rainy day, and before I know it the two of us are heading back
to Germany, visiting many castles on many rainy (& sunny) days,
and just having a blast, a trip entirely planned by her.
Not only that, but she also wrote this
80+ page “brief” beforehand so we'd both know what we're looking
at and looking for. That's how amazing she is.
And that's just one of her talents.
You know about the books she's written, the honors she's received,
and everything else that she's able to do. Being a bit of a shy
person (yes, despite what I just said, Loraine IS a bit of a shy
person) she doesn't necessarily like to shine the spotlight of
achievements on herself. But I'm married to her. I'm proud of what
she does. And I'll keep mentioning things like her books and her
trip planning abilities and the fact that she defies aging. Why?
Because people deserve to know that I'm
not kidding. She really IS the Most Amazing Woman in the World.
So Happy Birthday, Loraine. I hope
you're enjoying your Chocolate-Hazelnut Gelato!
(Lotsa) love,
